Think she'll stay on awhile? Preacher quietly asked Jack. Jack was frowning. I think what she does to a pair of jeans ought to be against the law. He looked at Preacher. You okay here? I'm thinking of having a beer in Clear River. It was code. There was a woman in Clear River. I'm okay here, Preacher said. *
In this scene from "Virgin River" by Robyn Carr, Preacher and Jack engage in a conversation about a woman, hinting at the potential romantic tension in the air. Jack expresses his concern regarding the woman's impact on others, particularly how her effect on a pair of jeans metaphorically suggests she is attractive and alluring. Preacher seems unaffected by the situation and reassures Jack that he is fine on his own.
Jack contemplates heading to Clear River, which symbolizes a getaway not only for leisure but also a chance to encounter someone special. Their exchange reflects a deeper understanding between the two men about relationships and the complications they can bring. Their bond remains strong, even as they navigate their own feelings and desires.
